I started this month off with Red Hot Holiday on my toes, but with climbing it soon wore off.
With everything going on this month Don't Toy With Me was the only way to go... At least until they make a color called Don't F*&%@ With Me, I'm Not In The F*$#&ing Mood. I have been on a bit of a roller coaster since Thanksgiving.
I was sick, a few times. The low point was working at the restaurant and the burger shop with no voice. I mean shit, what the hell can you do?
The holidays have brought around some festivities that have been so fun!! I got to be in a light parade up in Annapolis on J's boat. I love the Annapolis group. They are so chill and fun. J, James, Christina, Will... And my girl Parrish of course! After we headed to D.C. for my friend Jeff's hat party. It was really fun... So fun that he was evicted half way through it. C'est la vie, another Jeff Le party goes down in history. He has a ton of friends and could probably live for free for well over a year if need be. The night wrapped up with some very drunk happy folks and a bar brawl. My friend Jon got into town on Friday and so we got to go to dinner and then went out with Parrish and met up with Jon's friends. Some really fun people.
Last week my great aunt passed away. My first time truly regretting my move was when my mom told me that she was gone and not being able to be there with my family. So I got on a plane and came home early to regroup before Christmas.
Losing her really took the wind out of my sails. We have all been so worried about my grandma and her surgery that none of us saw it coming so soon. Parkinson's had taken its toll. She hadn't been herself for a long time. She may be the first person I have lost that I honestly can think of as being happier. The picture I have of her in my mind is one of her with a smile on her face.
Today I spent the day with my mom and grandma going through her stuff and chatting. I gave my grandma a mini pedi... She has never had her toenails painted! It was nice to be there. It was what we all needed, to be together.
Christmas is just around the corner. Best wishes to everyone and their families! I'm sure there will be more to write by the time I get back to the East Coast.
